Good point. I'll have to check on some of my client sites to ensure they do as well. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for bringing this up. love this blog -> you know what - you should make a list of all the "How to ensure users stay away from your site " list followed by such examples as you do come up with..

I have one too - that I posted on my blog -> its the CAPTCHA .. add that to your list as well..

everyone from guy Kawasaki to your average Jane and John Doe and who knows who else has suffered from that - unreadable Captcha.. its funny it says " are you human" -> well, its precisely because i am human, i missed the captcha the 7th time - and hence am quitting.. Try Yahoo and even Harvard business Review blog

i am not joking.. or maybe you guys have some secret sauce?

It actually *is* a valid part of an email address, and some people use it so they can more efficiently manage their email. See this article for more:

It's just bad validation algorithms.

Here's a great validation algorithm for PHP.

I don't completely understand this article. I've just checked hotmail signup and the + sign isn't a valid character. So why would you allow this in a form? Is this actually a valid character in some emails?

You did! Apparently your long nights poring over RFCs have paid off.

Wait a sec, does this mean I taught you a geek trick? Cool… :)

I didn't even know about “plus addressing”. Thanks for this. And I'm relieved that our sites allow it – although our own mail server rejects mail addressed as such. Thank goodness for gmail.
